The original owner of this body, Shen Yun, aspired to become the marshal of the empire.
This wish doesn't seem to fit his character. After all, judging from his memories, he's the kind of person who's full of passion and dedicated to protecting the planet, not someone who would care about military rank.
Of course, a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, and this wish must be agreed upon.
001 asked the main system and learned that its original wish was to eliminate the Zerg, but seeing that even the male and female protagonists could not completely eliminate them, it realized that this task was too difficult for them, so it changed the wish to become the Imperial Marshal.
"That seems quite difficult. The current marshal has double S-level aptitude and his superpower has reached level thirteen. At the current average age, he will not enter old age for at least another two hundred years."
"In the legion, strength speaks. As long as I'm stronger than him, that's enough."
001 pouted and said, "Alright, now we should think about going back."
However, neither 001 nor Emperor Xiu can physically traverse wormholes. The former is composed of energy and programs, and the negative energy in the wormhole will harm him. As for the latter, he simply lacks strength and physical toughness.
Di Xiu raised his hand, and on his wrist was something that looked like a watch. After obtaining the original owner's memories, he knew that this was a quantum computer. However, the WU brand quantum computer, which was said to be able to connect to the Star Network no matter where in the Milky Way, had no signal at this moment.
In a world where stars are scattered throughout the Milky Way, they just happened to land on a junk planet.
"It's probably a problem with the signal receiving tower. Should we try fixing it?"
This is a genuine garbage planet. The garbage from the surrounding planets has all been dumped here. The place where the mecha landed is on the top of a garbage mountain. Some people have already noticed this huge pile of fresh garbage, but they haven't been able to climb up it for the time being.
Di Xiu stored all the useful items into his spatial storage, sat down and calmed himself for two minutes, but still refused 001's suggestion to use his divine sense to rummage through the garbage mountain for tools.
He looked around, spotted a boy climbing a mountain, and landed beside him after a few leaps.
Do you have these tools? I can trade you something for them.
The boy was clearly malnourished, his bulging eyes filled with gloom, like the gray sky above him. Upon noticing the clean and proper attire of the person in front of him, greed and malice arose within him.
Di Xiu's response was to deform a piece of scrap metal with his bare hands.
The boy's eyes became more prominent, and with his thin arms and legs, he looked somewhat like a frog. He wasn't afraid; instead, a strange light flickered in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, his voice rough and unpleasant: "Uli wala wala?"
001 and Emperor Xiu were both taken aback. The former pointed to the latter's ear and said, "Your translator is gone. Use the translation function of your personal computer."
Although he could do it, he couldn't translate Di Xiu's words to the boy.
After doing so, the boy spoke again: "What do you want?"
Di Xiu repeated what he had said before.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Fix signal towers."
A sudden light dispelled the gloom in the boy's eyes. He lowered his posture and asked cautiously, "Did you accidentally fall here and are you planning to call someone to pick you up?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, the boy became visibly nervous, and his words became somewhat stammering: "I... I can help you, and I don't want your things, but you... you have to agree to one condition."
Di Xiu frowned slightly, and left without saying a word, preparing to change his target. He had originally thought that children would be easier to talk to.
The boy turned back, glancing reluctantly at the top of the garbage mountain, then scrambled down after him, shouting, "Sir, I...I have a younger sister, I..."
Di Xiu paused, turned around, and caught the boy who was about to fall.
The boy reacted strongly, breaking free of his hand before he could even stand up straight. He sat down abruptly, then tried to kneel, but was restrained by Di Xiu.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I've dirtied your clothes, I...I..."
What happened to your sister?
"She...she's sick. I'm wondering if an adult could take her away and help her get treatment. She's very well-behaved and hardworking. You just need to give her a bite to eat, and she'll do anything for you."
Emperor Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Aren't you afraid I'm a space pirate?"
"Anyway, it can't get any worse than it is now." The boy was somewhat dejected, and a shadow gathered in his eyes again.
Di Xiu nodded.
It was just a matter of course for him, and not a big deal.
The boy led him over the garbage mountain to the foot of the mountain, and they crawled into a converted shipping container. The container was cluttered with all sorts of things. Di Xiu compared the height and bent down to follow him inside.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and found a little girl inside who was unconscious with a high fever. He took out the medicine he had exchanged at the transfer station earlier from his pocket.
When the boy saw the medicine, his lips trembled, and he rubbed his hands hard on his trouser leg. After taking it, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times. When he raised his head, the person was already gone.
He managed to feed the little girl who was unconscious with her eyes closed. When he came out, his eyes were red and he was carrying a toolbox.
"Sir, I'll take you to the signal tower. I know where it is."
Di Xiu took out two vials of nutritional supplements and said calmly, "Fill your stomach first."
The boy's stomach was growling with hunger, but this time he firmly shook his head and refused. Just as he was about to say something, Di Xiu simply pinched his cheek and forced him to drink it.
001: "You're as rude as ever."
Di Xiu tossed the empty nutrient solution packet on the ground and said, "Let's go."
The boy hesitated for two seconds before catching up. 001 felt a little sad when he saw him pick up the empty tube and said to Di Xiu, "Why don't you be nicer to him? He's so pitiful."
There are so many pitiful people in this world.
001 poked his head and said with some doubt, "Sometimes I think you're quite kind, but other times I think you're more cold-blooded than anyone else."
Upon arriving at the location, Emperor Xiu began repairing the structure, with 001 providing guidance from the side.
The signal tower was directly smashed and repaired, which was quite troublesome. Before we knew it, it was completely dark, and the computer came in handy again, serving as a flashlight.
The boy suddenly shivered and said, "Sir, how about we fix it tomorrow? It gets very cold here at night."
Di Xiu looked down and found that he had started rubbing his arms and shaking his legs. The computer showed that the outside temperature had dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius. It was hard for him to hold back for so long before making a sound.
"You may go back."
The boy hesitated. He actually wanted to learn how to repair a signal tower, but he couldn't stand the nighttime temperature. He laughed at himself, wondering what use it would be if he learned it, since he couldn't even afford a single part of a quantum computer.
As he was about to leave, a bright red stone rolled to his feet. Looking up, he saw that the man was still repairing the signal tower.
He whispered a thank you very softly, bent down to pick it up, wiped his eyes, and walked home shakily.
